Fury is an avid follower of MMA and, particularly, the UFC. That said, he never fails to comment about his favorite fighters and cheer them for their achievements. Accordingly, Fury came up with a tweet for Khabib Nurmagomedov, McGregor’s arch-rival.
Sharing a picture of him, Fury wrote some sublime words for the former UFC lightweight champ. “This man did it right. Got it & won & got out on top. Big respect @TeamKhabib”
McGregor was staggered with these comments and he ended up taking it to Twitter to hit at the WBC champ.

However, Saunders succumbed to a terrifying loss that night and even ended up with a swollen right eye. Citing his condition, ‘Superb’s father, Tom Saunders, attempted to dodge the security to go and check his son.
